Agri-Food & Consumer Goods

The Agri-Food & Consumer Goods sectors face new opportunities and challenges as international trade pressures, market integration and rationalization continue apace. New technologies such as nutragenomics, nanotechnology and natural health products present opportunities to meet public demands for innovative and affordable products. At the same time, consumers, advocacy groups and governments put industry under increased scrutiny related to issues such as product health and safety, corporate social responsibility and shareholder returns.
